I disagree with that. Gib was not too bad, but the strategy did not account for any luck in Gib.

I did not plan to lose a plane in Gib:D

And if I have lost in 44 I would have flipped the board.

I admit, your strategy surprised me. I have you on 35% at 110. Curious to see the German turn.

[Me1945]

The US ftr lost in Gib suprised me as well and made my “spreadsheet” out of date. Need to rerun and address the Rubi game first. Will probably proceed tomorrow later (CT Houston) or Sunday. Be ready for the intercept order for the London’s harbor pls. Still just a game. Happy to play against you!

[JDOW]

Ahh. Bombarding the harbour. I admit I dis not have that on the radar.

[JDOW]

And yes, I will certainly full intercept.

[Me1945]

Even if Axis succeeds with the NB, game is challengeable for me. Let’s see.

[JDOW]

Frankly, I think Axis position is solid even without that move.

As a professional dice-whiner I consider this turn another setback for the Allies. I finally got some dice love last turn which I believe was due. But this turn was Axis-friendly again.

Axis hat almost flawless dice except Phil and I admit, that was a considerable good event for me. But Axis got immediate payback by this stupid DD that killed 2 planes and a sub and forced me to send the CC into certain death and your Japanese almost always hit against my Chinese.
I consider liberating China FAST an important objective for the Allies and it feels like there should be 4-5 more purple on the board with average dice.

Also, that Italien FIG gives you way better options to both, kill 91 TTs and attack the NB.
I think the odds to NOT deactivate the NB are very slim. But this is ok, I did not anticipate that move and it is fine if this works. I only want my US figs back:D especially after that entirely unnecessary loss against that hero German blocker some tie ago:D

[JDOW]

And re SBR. I will intercept in any case, also against 5 Tacs + Fig. Nor sure yet whether I will scramble 91.

[JDOW]

Btw: what spreadsheet were you refering to btw?
